The Trustees of the AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY present this their Eighteenth Annual Report to the Patrons, Fel- lows and Members of the Museum. The Treasurer's account shows the receipts of the year to have been $43,960.26, of which the City contributed $15,039.I9. The receipts include $2,426. I6 given by Mrs. Robert L. Stuart towards the Bird Group Collection and the purchase of a rare and unique specimen of crystallized gold; also for completing the binding of the library given to the Museum by Mr. R. L. Stuart; and $7,500 paid by the Trustees to make up the deficiency in maintaining the Museum. The expenditures were $31,584.08 for maintenance, and $II,109.03 for iinprovements and additions to the collections. The purchases include the Scott Collection of North American birds, a valuable collection of gold specimens and other rare minerals, 30 mounted specimens of American mammals, I32 specimens of American birds, I5 specimens of monkeys, also a number of geological specimens, all supplementing and making our collections more complete. There have been added to our Library by purchase goo vol- umes; this includes the library of Prof. R. P. Whitfield, which has filled a great vacancy. The additions to our collections by donation have been very gratifying. From the,, Hon. H. J. Jewett we have received his valuable library of travels, and from the Department of Public Parks, through Dr. Wm. A. Conklin, many important and valuable specimens have been received in the flesh and prepared at the Museum by our taxidermist. A collection of 130 European bird skins has been received from Edward Hargitt, Esq., of London. Also, many other important donations, which will be found in detail in the list of accessions. 8 In former reports attention has been drawn to the need of more exhibition space. During the year a very large amount of material has been accumulated, including a collection of the building stones of America, which remain packed in cases; also 3,ooo birds and 150 mammal skins. These specimens, together with other large and interesting collections, cannot be exhibited for want of space. The Educational Department has made most gratifying progress under Prof. A. S. Bickmore. The following bill, granting aid to extend the Museum, has become a law, and is herewith given in full. AN ACT To provide for enlarging the building situated on Central Park in the City of New York arnd occupied by the American Museum of Natural History, for the purpose of furnishing proper facili- ties for giving increased exhibition and public instruction. The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: SECTION i. The Department of Public Parks in the City of New York, with the concurrence of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, is hereby author- ized to erect and equip an addition to the building situated on that part of Central Park, formerly known as Manhattan Square, and now in the possession and occupation of the American Museum of Natural History, in accordance with a contract made in pursuance of chapter 139 of the laws of eighteen hun- dred and seventy-six. Said addition shall include suitable space for the exhi- bition of the specimens of the Museum, now stored for want of room to display them to the public, and shall also include a lecture hall, which can be used for the purpose of giving to the teachers of the common schools, and the normal schools of the State, and to artisans, mechanics and other citizens, the instruc- tion provided for them in chapter 428 of the laws of eighteen hundred and eighty-six. The Trustees of said Museum shall select an architect to prepare, under their direction, the plans, and to superintend, under the direction of the Commissioners of Parks, the construction of said addition. Said plans, when completed and approved by said Trustees, shall be submitted to the Commis- sioners of said department for their approval, and may include any alteration of the present building made necessary by the enlargement, and such improve- ments and repairs to it as the Commissioners of said department and the Trustees of said Museum may agree are proper and necessary. The Commis- sioners of said department shall provide for the compensation of the' architect 9 out of the fund hereby provided for the erection of said addition. Said equip- ment shall include all the cases and fittings required for the preparation, exhibi- tion and preservation of the specimens, books and property of the Museum, also furniture and fixed apparatus of the lecture hall, and the other rooms of this building. § 2. For the purpose of providing means for carrying into effect thepro- visions of this act, it shall be the duty of the Comptroller, upon being there- unto authorized by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, to issue and sell, but not at less than their par value, bonds or stock of the Mayor, Alder- men and Commonalty of the City of New York in the manner now provided by law payable from taxation, but not exceeding in the aggregate the sum of four hundred thousand dollars, bearing interest at a rate not exceeding three per centum per annum, and redeemable within a period of time not exceeding thirty years from the date of their issue. § 3. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. § 4. This act shall take effect immediately. The annual growth and proper development of your institution necessarily involves yearly increasing expenditures. The arrange- ment and rearrangement continually necessary in a large and growing scientific department not only occupies much time and care, but demands the employment of gentlemen of notable skill and acquirements. Our only assured annual income at present is from the City appropriation of $15,000 and the interest of the $55,000 invested funds. It would appear to be very desirable to place the Museum on such a permanent basis of maintenance that the annual contribu- tions of the Trustees and members could be appropriated exclu- sively to the purchase of objects of science. Valuable collections, which the Museum needs, are continually being offered us for sale, but we are obliged to decline their purchase for want of funds. The great museums of Europe are chiefly sustained by public fund, through the force of an enlightened public sentiment both as to their educational and economic value. The value of what you have already accumulated in your halls rises to a large figure commercially, but it is a difficult task to estimate the money value of what belongs to science and scientific institutions. To their value must be added their ameliorating 10 power, their educational force, and the scope they afford the higher faculties of man to apprehend the wonderful phenomena of nature, and to master and utilize her great forces. To the multitude shut up in stone walls, to whom are afforded an acquaintance with the beauty of natural objects, or to study them in their usual aspects and conditions, the advantage of your Museum is, that it affords opportunity; and out of a great number who look only vaguely and experience only the healthful excite- ment of a natural curiosity, one here and there may be found endowed with special aptitudes and tastes. Perhaps some child of genius, whose susceptibilities and faculties, once aroused and quickened, will repay in the field of discovery and science, through the force of some new law in its manifold applications or relations, all your expenditure a hundred fold. Commercial values and purely scientific values meet often on common ground; but their essential life belongs to opposite poles. To some it appears necessary to vindicate the employ- ment of large amounts of public money in such an institution as that which you control, from the charge of extravagance; their ideas of value appear to be limited to that which is exchange- able in the current coin of the market; but the highest results of character and life offer something which cannot be weighed in the balances of the merchant, be he ever so wise in his generation.

  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

  • The War Against Germans Kearn Schemm
    The War against German Culture My topic today is “the war against German culture.” It is a topic that probably impacts many of you, given the fact that Missouri was settled to a large extent by Germans, in fact, according to Prof. Don Heinrich Tolzmann, Missouri is almost 40% German today. Can I have a show of hands as to how many of you in the audience are of German ancestry? The topic impacts me, since I am a third generation American of half Germanic ancestry. I was born in Newark, New Jersey, in a hospital founded as the “Newark German Hospital” and now known as “Clara Maass Hospital” after its most famous nurse, who gave her life trying to help Walter Reed find a cure for yellow fever. The reason that the hospital is no longer named “Newark German” is the war against German language and culture, which continues to this very day. Things Germans were not always negatively stereotyped. Let me ask you a few questions, the answers might amaze you: 1) When was the first anti-slavery protest drafted, and what language was it in? (German, 1688 By Franz Daniel Pastorius in Germantown, Pa) 2) Who founded the first public library in New York? (A German refugee turned newspaper publisher named Oswald Ottendorfer and founded the Ottendorfer Library in 1884.) 3) Who founded the first legal aid society in the US? (Germans: Deutscher Rechts-Schutz Verein (German Legal Aid Society), was incorporated in New York City in 1876) Now, the term German today has many implications to many people.

On March 23, 1976, the landmarks Preserv3tion Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmerk of the Stuyvesant Polyclinic Hospit~l and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing was continued to May II, 1976 (Item No. 1). Both hearings had been duly advertised in ac~ordance with the provisions of law. ·A total of six witnesses at both hearings; including the representative of the Cabrini Health Care Center, spoke in favor of designation.

  • INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition by W
    WashingtonHistory.org INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition By W. R. Swagerty COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2002: Vol. 16, No. 2 To lovers of the picturesque it is a source of keen regret that the Blanket Indian, the most striking and conspicuous figure this country has ever produced, is passing. And by this I mean the Indian who formerly wore a red blanket, a beaded buckskin shirt and leggins, a gorgeous war bonnet, and who painted his face, his hands and his horse in a manner wonderful to behold. Block Quote —G. O. Shields from Blanket Indians of the Northwest, 1921 A veteran of the Indian wars, Shields, like many of his contemporaries, was convinced that the American Indian was a "vanishing race," a victim of "Progress" and the inevitable sweep of Western civilization over a once-proud people now reservation-bound and without the warrior heroes of yesteryear. Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, American Horse, Geronimo, and Chief JosePh— "The Noblest Roman of Them All"—were all gone, rePlaced by a generation of hunters-turned- farmers, and Poor ones at that. Had Shields looked carefully he would have seen many "blanket Indians" at powwows, giveaways, potlatches, funerals, saints' days, parades, rodeos, and in more traditional households on and off reservations. Writing in 1933, Luther Standing Bear, a notable Sioux, reminisced in his autobiography, Land of the Spotted Eagle: Many an Indian has accomplished his own personal salvation by "going back to the blanket." The Indian blanket or buffalo robe, a true American garment and worn with the significance of language; covered beneath it, is the prototype of the American Indian, one of the bravest attempts ever made by man on this continent to rise to the heights of true humanity.
